A note about storing gourmet Oils.

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

All oils are best kept (or stored) away from heat and light. This is especially so for unrefined oils such as extra virgin olive oil. A cool dark pantry or cupboard is the best location for olive oil when it is not on the prep counter being used as an ingredient.Glass, porcelain, and stainless steel make the best decanters or containers. Glass drizzle cruets are an ideal decanter. Never store olive oil in a plastic or reactive metal container. There are certain gourmet oils that are unstable and should be refrigerated, i.e. walnut and hazelnut oils. Fine gourmet olive oil is not an oil to store in the frig.

Glass oil and vinegar cruets are a perfect gourmet gift selection for any occasion. olive oil storage, olive oil decanter, drizzle cruets

Cooking with olive oil.

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

oil and vinegarExtra-virgin Spanish olive oil is suggested to cook with. First year, quality extra virgin olive oil should be added to dishes as a garnish after they have been cooked. You can add olive oil to soups or entrées as a condiment, at the table. Use a drizzle cruet to add olive oil sparingly while cooking or garnishing food. When barbecuing meat or fish it’s best to add quality extra virgin olive oil after cooking, unless the olive oil is an ingredient of a the marinade.The flavor of olive oil will change when heated to 140° F. Olive oil will begin to burn at 280° F. Frying foods at high temperatures is not recommended using olive oil. A peanut oil or rice bran oil would make a good substitute for frying foods such as potatoes or fish. Heating olive oil, (while cooking) will change the taste and character of the olive oil substantially. Never heat olive oil to excessive temperatures. Do not keep olive oil to reuse after it has been brought to the smoking point, as overheating olive oil can produce toxins. cooking with olive oil, olive oil condiment

Storing olive oil in the kitchen

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

oil and vinegarYou can store olive oil in a ceramic or stainless steel container. Glass is usually the best choice and also the most practical. Do not store olive oil in a metallic container like copper, tin, or iron. A Plastic container will add a plastic taste or flavor to the olive oil over time. Storing olive oil in your glass drizzle cruet is ideal if placed in the pantry when not in use.It is best to place a storage container of olive oil in the pantry; a cool dark place is optimum. Olive oil that has been affected by heat or intensive light will have a copper hue and will have the characteristic of oxidization. Olive oil that is stored properly can keep up to two years. There are some experts who say that olive oil can be kept indefinitely under perfect conditions. Remember olive oil does not improve while it ages. It is not like wine. Olive oil is best used during the first year after it is pressed. Olive oil is most flavorful, during the first two months after pressing. Never refrigerate olive oil. This will impede the flavor and interrupt the active life of olive oil.storing olive oil, drizzle cruet

Where does the expression ‘drizzle’ come from?

Friday, September 01st, 2006

olive oil bottleA cruet will drizzle olive oil perfectly regardless which kitchen it is in, yours, or the fancy one on TV’s Gourmet Food Show.

When gourmet chefs first implored us to drizzle olive oil on garden salads and on grilled fish, the problem wasn’t just that drizzle is a silly word, but good quality olive oil was hard to find. For decades bland tasting, golden olive oils have dominated the market. They may have been fine for frying, but no where near good enough to garnish a newly grilled salmon. Now we are seeing an offering of quality olive oils. Retailers are stocking better Italian and Spanish olive oils. So the drizzle effect can continue ever so abundantly.

But what is meant by “drizzle” over this…?

A quick look at the proper definition will help. 

driz·zle
[driz-uhl]verb, -zled, -zling, noun
–verb
1. to rain gently and steadily in fine drops; sprinkle: It drizzled throughout the night.
2. to fall in fine drops.
3. to rain or let fall in fine drops; sprinkle: He drizzled honey over the fruit.
4. to pour in a fine stream: Drizzle melted butter over the breadcrumb topping.
–noun 5. a very light rain.
6. Meteorology. precipitation consisting of numerous, minute droplets of water less than 1/50 in. (0.5 mm) in diameter.
 â€”Related forms drizzly, adverb driz·zle (drzl) v. driz·zled, driz·zling, driz·zles   

To rain gently in fine, mistlike drops. v. tr.
To let fall in fine drops or particles: drizzled melted butter over the asparagus.
To moisten with fine drops: drizzled the asparagus with melted butter.
 n.
A fine, gentle, misty rain.

[Perhaps from Middle English drisning, fall of dew, from Old English -drysnian, …]

With a definition of ‘drizzle’ fresh before us, now we can see what the food writers and gourmet chefs have been intending us to ‘dew’ with our olive oil. drizzle olive oil, drizzle cruet, gourmet drizzler
